Classics I Want to Read This Spring: 2023

stock photo: all the springtime vibes

Oh it's that time of year. 

Bees are buzzing. Stress is mounting. Books are calling to be read. 💐 

I've been playing around with returning to BookTube as a creative/hobby project within the next few weeks. I just want to make sure that I don't return and suddenly want to leave again.

I've dealt with regrets about deleting my 67 videos before, but was honest that I didn't like the bubble that YouTube put my channel in. I think I'll be aiming for a different course this go-round.

Either way, this is born out of a desire to show how reading is helping my anxiety during this most stressful of times.

This Springtime I am gearing up for lighter reads. Some re-reads (of course), and other classics that I've been meaning to get to for quite some time.

I have Kindle Unlimited for another 10 days or so, and will see if I make good use of it before considering if I will renew. In that time, I am able to access some classics (most classics I own on kindle anyway) that I don't currently own. 

I can imagine myself spending lazy Sunday mornings reading opening chapters from classics that have been on my mind for quite some time.

Here are the classics I want to spend time with this upcoming Spring season

Emma by Jane Austen

A Room With A View by E.M. Forester

Ruth by Elizabeth Gaskell

The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope

There's nothing like a springtime TBR full of light feels

Of course I'll pepper this list with all sorts of in-the-moment reads. That's the point of my reading life. To feel inspired, changed, excited, alive and connected to the human experience.

There's no need for a huge or ambitious spring classic TBR. Keeping things light and comfortable. I will have so many other reads going at the same time as these classics, but they are ones I really want to get through.

Longer sun in the day, warmer weather, all beg for light reading. 

Happy light springtime reading my slow living friends.
